Prices & versions

Depending on the setup, to use Peakboard, you need either a Peakboard Box or your own Windows device (BYOD).

When you the Peakboard Box uses, do you need:

• A power connection (USB-C power supply is included)
• One network connection via LAN or WLAN
• Einen Monitor with HDMI port to display the visualization

For the use of Peakboard BYOD or to install the Peakboard Designers We recommend a device with Windows 10 or newer.

There are two ways:

1. Peakboard Web Access – direct access to a single Peakboard Box via your web browser (desktop or mobile). You see a current screenshot of the visualisation, can edit lists, variables and resources, swap files like images or PDFs, and run predefined functions. Ideal for users who want to operate their Box.
2. Peakboard Hub – central management of multiple Peakboard Boxes. The browser gives you an overview of all devices (with regularly updated screenshots) and lets you switch visualisations, adjust network and IP settings, and manage licences and users. Ideal for administrators and teams with larger setups.

Peakboard GmbH was founded in Stuttgart in 2016 and spun off in 2022 as an independent company from Theobald Software, a long-established SAP interface vendor. The company serves over 300 customers in DACH and the US and operates from multiple locations. Peakboard America Inc. was founded in Chicago in 2022.

For most applications, the low-code editor is enough: drag & drop, conditional formatting, pre-built templates and an intelligent assistant. OPEX and lean teams build productive dashboards on their own. For more complex logic, you can either work with Building Blocks or write Lua scripts directly in the classic text editor.

Over 100 out-of-the-box interfaces, including: SAP (certified, incl. EWM, ECC, MES, MII, S/4 HANA), OPC UA, MQTT, Siemens S7, Beckhoff, Rockwell, Modbus, MS SQL, Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB, REST APIs, ODBC, Power BI, Qlik, Tableau, IBM Cognos, Excel, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, CSV, JSON, XML, OData.

No – and that has nothing to do with being sceptical about AI. Quite the opposite: AI-assisted building is already part of Peakboard. You describe what you need in a prompt and get a finished Peakboard project. The difference is what the result is built for.

A generic AI generates a slick web app that lives in a browser tab. On the factory floor, that is the wrong shape:

• It runs at the workplace, not in a browser tab. Peakboard runs locally on the Box or tablet right at the line – with direct access to scanners, RFID/NFC readers, foot switches, label printers and andon lamps.
• Industrial data is not REST and JSON. OPC UA, S7, Modbus, SAP, MQTT, SQL and historians bring sessions, subscriptions and automatic reconnect – all built into Peakboard. The AI wires up existing tags instead of fragile middleware.
• Built to run continuously. Full-screen, automatic recovery, last-known state kept on screen when the network blips – not the lifecycle of a tab someone might close.
• On-premises by default. Designer and runtime both stay inside the plant. Nothing leaves the facility unless you deliberately send it out.
• Maintainable, not a black box. The output is a normal Peakboard project that your team can open, adjust and extend in the Designer – even after staff changes. No web stack, no per-app cloud bill.

In short: AI does not replace Peakboard – Peakboard puts AI in the right place.
